Actually, we’ve continuously published a health-related Augusta newspaper twice a month since June of 1990. 25 years! The Medical Examiner was born July 1, 2006. This month marks its 9th year in print. Back in those early days, it was published on the 1st and 15th of every month. Now the usual schedule is the 1st and 3rd Friday of …
OUR 9TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE!
It’s right here, and it’s full of the kind of award-wanting journalism you’ve come to expect from the Medical Examiner. For instance, is it important to poop every day? We dish. Other 9th Anniversary specials: 9 ways to get kids to eat healthier; 9 ways to be healthier and happier; 9 ways to stay out of trouble; even 9 TV …
I’ve got the hots for summer.
Literally. Despite the headline hots, I’m no fan of hot weather. Summer is only one letter removed from simmer. Even so, there’s something about the arrival of summer that calls for celebration. Maybe it’s the vacationy feel of this season and the resulting outdoorsiness of summer; maybe it’s the long days; maybe it’s all the food we love to eat …
I have issues.
Here’s one right here, for example: What’s in this puppy? Well, there is a NEW COLUMN DEBUT: “Kid’s Stuff: Notes from a Pediatric Intern” on hot weather hydration; plus Men’s Health on stress; Rene Le Fort and his cadaver research; The Money Doctor on disability insurance; Bad Billy: Why are drugs so expensive?; World Medicine; poison ivy; brain fitness activities; …

In the rest of the paper you’ll find our usual smoove blend of information and entertainment, a.k.a. infotainment. Or do you prefer entermation? Either way, the sum total of it all is to help every reader live a healthier life. And so, …
This post comes with a guarantee.
And it is this: this will be the most disgusting thing you see all day. Maybe all week. That’s a guarantee, or double your money back. What’s the occasion? Today, all over the planet, is World No Tobacco Day, observed every year on the last day of May. Smoking gets a lot of publicity for lung cancer and heart disease, …
the LATEST issue!
No, really. Oh, it was printed on Tuesday morning as usual and delivered beginning Wednesday, just like always. It’s just this online edition that was delayed. But it’s worth waiting for: this issue has topics from hate crimes to moral and ethical pharmacy issues; a medical student’s experience with his first dead body; pets and exercise; marijuana brownies; a book …
Here boy! Go fetch the paper!
Good boy, good boy!
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
We turn our 100,000 candlepower spotlights on two cover stories this issue: preventing strokes (always important this time of year in Augusta) and speeding. Let’s take a moment here for just one of those: speeding, and why it’s ineffective and illogical. Driving at 60 mph, you’re covering a mile a minute, right? If you spend that entire hour at 65 …
